Atlanta – Secretary of State Brian Kemp is reminding Georgians that today,

public library, public assistance office, recruitment office, schools and other
government offices for a mail-in registration form. A list can be found at http://sos.georgia.gov/cgi-bin/countyregistrarsindex.asp

-Registration is offered when you renew or apply for your driver’s license
at the Department of Driver Services.

-College students can obtain Georgia voter registration forms or the
necessary forms to register in any state in the U.S. from their school’s
registrar’s office or from the office of the Vice President of Academic
Affairs.
